问题 How did Tencent take WeChat so far ahead of its rivals?The answer lies pardy in thepeculiarities of the local market．UnIike most Westerners，many Chinese possessed multlpie mobile devices，and they quickly took to an app that offered them an easy way to integrate them a11 into a single digital identity．In America messaging apps had a potent competitor in the form of basic mobile-phone plans，which bundled in SMS messaging．But text messages were costly in China，so consumers eagerly adopted the free messaging app．And e-mail never took off on the mainland the way it has around the world，mainly because the internet came late；that left an opening for messaging apps．
But the bigger explanation for WeChat’s rise is Tencent’s ability to innovate．Many Chinese grew up using QQ，a PC-based messaging platform offered by Tencent that still has over 800m registered users．QQ was a copy of ICQ，a pioneering Israeli messaging service．But then the Chinese imitator learned to think for itself．Spotting the coming rise of the mobile internet，Tencent challenged several internal teams to design and develop a smartphone-only messaging app．The QQ insiders came up with something along the lines of their existing product for the PC，but another team of outsiders(from a just-acquired firm)came up with Wechat．When Tencent launched the new app，it made it easy for QQ’s users to transfer their contacts over to the new app．
Another stroke of brilliance came two years ago when the service launched a“red packet”campaign in which WeChat users were able to send digital money to friends and family to celebrate Chinese New Year rather than sending cash in a red envelope，as is customary．It was clever of the firm to turn dutiful gift-giving into an exciting game，notes Connie Chan of Andreessen Horowitz，a VC firm．It also encouraged users to bind together into groups to send money，often in randomised amounts(if you send 3，000 yuan to 30 friends，they may not get 100 yuan each；WeChat decides how much)．That in turn led to explosive growth in group chats．This year，over 400m users(both as individuals and in groups)sent 32 billion packets of digital cash during the celebration．
请回答下列问题。
The phrase“stoke of brilliance”means ____________．

选项 A、success
B、chance
C、remarkable idea
D、none of the above

答案C

解析词义题。这个词组前面有another，说明前一段和后文说的是同一类事物。而上一段主要说的是“another team of outsiders(from a just-acquired firm)came up with Wechat”，一个团队提出了开发微信的想法，所以这一段后面写的也是一个绝妙的想法，即remarkable idea。
